    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I also agree that Grant's performance was over the top -VERY over the top. It ruined the film for me. The blame lies with the Director who should have noticed Grant's performance.

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    A pity that the DEATH IN VENICE bluray quality didn't match the usual standards that we are used to with Criterion releases. The opening looked very grainy. One of the extras had unreadable subtitles-white subtitles against a white (snow) background.

    Your all time favourite film? Very unusual choice. It does not even rank in my top 200 films ever seen ( and I have seen many thousands from around the world). It was a good film but not Russel's best. There also have been hundreds of better Director's whose films leave lasting...

    It was a huge hit in it's day. However there were too many scenes that were later proved to be faked. It was the same for the director's other similar documentaries. The Mondo Cane theme song was most memorable. Mondo Cane is Italian for 'dogs life'.

    You obviously didn't understand my original question as to why Criterion don't release their tiles as region/zone free. It has nothing to do with the license for a specific region or limited time.Could you clarify what you mean by specific 'REGION' ? Criterion ship their titles to ANY...

    Criterion Blu-ray titles!

    I disagree with you. Most of the Major American studios now have all their bluray/dvd releases as region/zone free discs. (Disney/Warner/MGM etc). Criterion can also make their discs region free-it is such a simple thing for them to do so. They should not have to pay more for a licence for...
